The effect of mulberry porridge

Mulberry kernels are commonly known as mulberry. Mulberry (sāng shèn) is the mature fruit of the deciduous tree mulberry of the Moraceae family. Mulberry is also called mulberry fruit and mulberry date. Farmers like to eat its ripe fresh fruit. It is sweet and juicy and is one of the fruits people often eat. Mature mulberries are oily, sweet and sour, and are best when they are large, thick, purple-red, and have enough sugar. The fruits are harvested when they are ripe from April to June every year, washed, impurities removed, and dried in the sun or slightly steamed and then dried in the sun for consumption.

Nutritional components: Every 100 grams of mulberries contains 167 kilojoules of calories, 1.7 grams of protein, 0.4 grams of fat, 4.1 grams of dietary fiber, 9.7 grams of carbohydrates, 5 micrograms of vitamin A, 0.02 milligrams of vitamin B, 0.06 milligrams of vitamin B2, 9.87 milligrams of vitamin E, 32 milligrams of potassium, 2 milligrams of sodium, 37 milligrams of calcium, 0.4 milligrams of iron, 0.26 milligrams of zinc, 33 milligrams of phosphorus, and 5.65 micrograms of selenium.

Effects of mulberry: Mulberry is sweet and cold in nature. It nourishes the liver and kidneys, nourishes blood and dispels wind. It is mainly used to treat dizziness, insomnia, deafness, blurred vision, thirst, constipation, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Mulberry has the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and tonifying liver and kidney. It is a legal food for both medicine and food announced by the Ministry of Health. There are many ways to make mulberry paste. Grind fresh mulberry into small pieces, filter the juice with cloth, boil it into a thin paste with pottery and stoneware, add appropriate amount of honey and boil it until thick, and serve it in porcelain. Or boil mulberry juice on low heat until 50% of the original volume, then add white honey, ghee, ginger, etc., boil it into paste and store it in a bottle for later use. The more common method is to add 250 grams of mulberry, wolfberry, and pitted red dates, add water to boil into paste, then add 500 grams of white sugar, stir and melt. Because mulberry is cold in nature and can moisten dryness and relieve constipation, it is not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and diarrhea.

Dietary taboos: Unripe mulberries should be eaten with caution. Most of the mulberries available in the market are picked when they are 60% to 70% ripe, dried and set aside. However, the medicinal power of these mulberries is somewhat different from that of ripe purple-black mulberries. Ripe ones are better.
